I read in this book:
that you can stain furniture with coffee and black tea. Being that I'm always on a budget this idea grabbed my attention immediately!
The book states:
*Coffee and Tea: Replace dark wood stains with a mixture that is three parts strongly brewed coffee with four or five black tea bags in it and one part water. Make sure this stain has steeped for about a day before using it.
BUT before I stain this piece of furinture I'm going to continue sanding more funiture. Today after work I plan on sanding my kitchen stools, which were another free find here in the allies of Chicago:
The plan as of right now for my pair of stools is to sand, prime and paint black. I would also like to put a printed fabric in place of the faux brown leather and get rid of the things holding in the leather. I'm not 100% sure on painting these black, so I will only go as far as priming. I will post pictures of the stools after they have been sanded.
